Scan - QR Code and Barcode Reader

(125)

$1.99

Scan is the fastest and most user-friendly QR reader and barcode scanner available. If your computer came with a built-in scanner, this would be it. Here is what our reviewers are saying:
“Quick and very reliable. I’d give it six stars if it were possible.”
“No ads, beautiful design, and even caught blurry QR codes I didn’t expect it to scan”
HOW THE APP WORKS
To scan a QR code or barcode simply open the app, point the camera at the code, and you’re done! There is no need to take a photo or press a button. Scan will automatically recognize any code your camera is pointing at.
When scanning a QR code, if the code contains a website URL, you will automatically be taken to the site. If the code just contains text, you'll immediately see it. For other formats such as phone numbers, email addresses, or contact info, you will be prompted to take the appropriate action.
PRODUCT BARCODES
Scan recognizes all of the popular barcode types (UPC, EAN, and ISBN) and shows you pricing, reviews, and more about any products you scan. Barcode scanning requires a high-resolution camera in order to work reliably. Cameras on older devices do not provide the resolution or focus required for barcode scanning.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Scan using any webcam connected to your PC
• View a history list of all of your past scans

Yikes!

This thing is so twitchy! I was trying to scan a QR code on the front of a magazine and the camera screen kept stopping and going. It was ridiculous. The code did eventually scan, but it was awful trying to get it to work.

Works but room for improvement

On my Surface RT I have to crouch down right in front of the TV to get an image large enough for the app to read. The app on my Android tablet automatically zooms in as required. This app is badly in need of such a feature. Otherwise it works OK.

Great Tool

I am pleased with this tool! It is a great way to teach educators how to embed content into their lessons, create QR Code scavenger hunts, and much more. It also is great to already have on my HP. I don't have to use my phone for everything, thus adding another device. In addition, I love the recently scanned feature. As a former principal and coach I recommend this extremely useful tool!

Doesn't Work

Surface 3 Pro with Win 8.1
The camera doesn't focus closely enough to fill the rectangle of the program. I tried both front and back cameras, and several lighting scenarios but the resolution was not good enough for the app to recognize. This was a waste of time and money.

I give it a BIG OLE, '0'

PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME PAYING OR DOWNLOADING THIS APP. IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I JUST PAID FOR A APP THAT ONLY WORKS AS A SCANNER THE QR SCANNER IS A WASTE, IT WON'T EVEN SCAN.. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED!! SHAMMIE ON YOU !!

First Day Rating

I could scan several QR codes from low quality blank and white document printouts. I could not get it to read a barcode. I am using a the original Surface RT and the camera does not focus real well close up.

Not working on surface pro 2

Doesn't work

On Latitude 10 tablet, this QR Code/Barcode Reader app doesn't work.The app continually takes photos and flashes each time, never fully reading the barcode.
In the business world, I need apps that work without embarrassment. I looked like the paparazzi with continual flashes, and it failed to scan the code. Uninstalled immediately.
